Nutrigenomics and nutrigenetics – are they the keys for healthy nutrition? Maria Koziołkiewicz Faculty of Biotechnology and Food Sciences, Technical University of Lodz, Lodz, Poland „Food and nutrition in 21st century”, Warsaw, 8-9.09.2011 Basic definitions Nutrigenomics – analyzes the effects of bioactive food components (nutrients and nonnutrients) on gene expression „Food and nutrition in 21st century”, Warsaw, 8-9.09.2011 Basic definitions (cont.) Fat Vitamins From a nutrigenomic perspective bioactive food components are dietary signals that are detected by the cellular sensor systems (e.i. PPARγ and RXR receptors) that influence gene expression, protein synthesis and metabolite production. From this point of view genes are dietary targets. Patterns of gene expression, protein synthesis and metabolite production in response to particular nutrients can be considered as dietary signatures. Basic definitions (cont.) Nutrigenomics seeks to examine these dietary signatures in specific cells, tissues and organisms and to understand how nutrition influences homeostasis. DIET Genotype Health or Disease Phenotype Nutrigenomics aims also to identify the genes that influence the risk of diet-related diseases on a genome -wide scale and to understand the mechanisms that underlie these genetic predispositions. „Food and nutrition in 21st century”, Warsaw, 8-9.09.2011 Basic definitions (cont.) Nutrigenetics – analyzes the effect of genetic variation on dietary response Genetic variation between individuals results from numerous differences in nucleotide sequences within their genome: single nucleotide polymorphisms (the most common form of genomic variation: in the human genome > 10 millions SNP) copy number variations (CNV), deletions-insertions of single nucleotides or gene fragments, substitutions and inversions. „Food and nutrition in 21st century”, Warsaw, 8-9.09.2011 Nutrigenetic analysis of SNPs within some CVD-related genes CVD Risk Factor Gene SNPs Genotype Lipids APOAI -75G→A GA Lipids APOC3 3175C→G GG Lipids APOE ε2, ε3, ε4 2, 3 Lipids CETP 279G→A GG Blood pressure ACE Ins/Del ID Blood pressure AGT -6C→A AA Infammation IL1B -511C→T TT Inflammation IL6 -174G→C GC Methylation (folate) MTHFR 677C→T TT Methylation (B12) TCN2 776C→T CT CVD – cardiovascular diseases „Food and nutrition in 21st century”, Warsaw, 8-9.09.2011 Copy-number variations (CNVs) are alterations of the DNA of a genome that results in the cell having an abnormal number of copies of one or more sections of the DNA. This variation accounts for roughly 12% of human genomic DNA and each variation may range from about one kilobase (1000 bases) to several megabases in size. CNVs contrast with SNPs, which affect only single nucleotide. Alleles containing 0-13 active gene copies have been described, and one can assume that copy number variation may account for even 25% individual variation in response. Duplicated region Before duplication After duplication „Food and nutrition in 21st century”, Warsaw, 8-9.09.2011 Mechanisms by which nutrients influence gene expression: 1. Regulation of transcription factors and transcription process Bioactive food components promoter gene DNA Regulatory sequences in DNA mRNA Proteins: enzymes, receptors, transporters Mechanisms by which nutrients influence gene expression: 2. Regulation of chromatin structure and DNA susceptibility to transcriptional machinery (how certain genes are switched on or switched off – nutri-epigenetics) Gene switched on: Active chromatin unmethylated cytosines Acetylated histones Gene switched off: Silent chromatin Methylated cytosines Deacetylated histones Transcription possible Transcription inhibited „Food and nutrition in 21st century”, Warsaw, 8-9.09.2011 The two main components of the epigenetic labeling : Methylation Acetylation Phosphorylation Histones DNA strand A combination of different molecules attached to the „tails” of histones alters activity of the DNA wrapped around them. Histone modification DNA methylation: methyl marks added to one od DNA bases (cytosine) repress gene activity Nucleosome DNA methylation „Food and nutrition in 21st century”, Warsaw, 8-9.09.2011 How do dietary factors affect DNA methylation processes? Diet Folate Some polyphenols Methionine SAM Unmethylated DNA MTHFR Methylated DNA Folate-rich diet influences DNA methylation process and can switch off some critical genes. Folate and vitamin B12 contribute to generating 5methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF), which provides the methyl group for synthesis of methionine and SAM, the universal methyl donor of biological methylation. DNA methylation inhibits gene expression. „Food and nutrition in 21st century”, Warsaw, 8-9.09.2011 Folate -rich diet of mother-mouse results in methylation of the IAP sequence in the genome of the offspring and the agouti gene silencing. Result: brown color of child coat. Folate -deficient diet of mother-mouse results in hypomethylation of the IAP sequence and active agouti gene leads to a yellow coat color, obesity and tumors.

Jirtle: (2006) Environ Health Perspect 114: 567–572 Mechanisms by which nutrients influence gene expression: 3. Prevention of DNA damage Michael Fenech, CSIRO Preventive Health National Research Flagship Oxidative stress Calorie excess Nutrient deficiency or excess DNA strand breaks DNA hypomethylation Telomere shortening Lymphocytes with damaged or unstable genome The micronucleus assay in cytokinesis-blocked lymphocytes is currently the best validated biomarker for nutritional genomic studies of DNA damage. Moderate folate deficiency within the physiological range causes as much DNA damage in cultured lymphocytes as ten times the annual allowed limit of exposure to X rays Level of micronuclei indicates severe DNA damage The typical plasma folate concentration is only 10– 30 nmol/L, a level adequate to prevent anemia but insufficient to minimize chromosomal damage. Michael Fenech, CSIRO Preventive Health National Research Flagship Nutrigenetics and nutrigenomics can be useful for better understanding of nutrient-gene interactions and development of personalized nutrition strategies for optimal health and disease prevention. „Personalized nutrition” - a diet addressed to an individual and based upon her/his genotype, nutritional requirements and other factors (age and gender). It is expected that personalized nutrition will prevents diet-related chronic diseases. „Food and nutrition in 21st century”, Warsaw, 8-9.09.2011 How to achieve this goal? 1. Basic studies: ▪ identification of next generation biomarkers Today Coming soon „Food and nutrition in 21st century”, Warsaw, 8-9.09.2011 How to achieve this goal? 1. Basic studies: ▪ identification of SNPs-disease associations (Genome wide association studies – GWAS) Genome-wide association studies – an approach for identifying genes that are associated with diseases. GWA studies allow to test hundreds of thousands of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for association with a disease in hundreds or thousands of persons. Nearly 600 genome-wide association studies covering 150 distinct diseases and traits have been published, with nearly 800 SNP–trait associations reported as significant. Teri A. Manolio: Genome-wide Association Studies and Assessment of the Risk of Disease. New England Journal of Medicine (2010), 363:166-176. The Wellcome Trust Case Control Consortium: The Genome-wide association study of 14,000 cases of seven common diseases and 3,000 shared controls . Nature(2007), 447: 661-684: The article describes results of the GWA studies of 2,000 cases and 3,000 shared controls for seven complex human diseases of high importance: bipolar disorder (BD), coronary artery disease (CAD), Crohn’s disease (CD), hypertension (HT), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), type 1 diabetes (T1D), and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Wellcome Trust Case Control Consortium (WTCCC) brought together over 50 research groups from the UK that are active in researching the genetics of common human diseases, with expertise ranging from clinical, through genotyping, to informatics and statistical analysis. How to achieve this goal? ▪ determination of dietary reference values (e.g. recommended dietary allowance – RDA) for DNA damage prevention (see folic acid case!) ▪ application of new technologies to understand mechanisms of action of dietary factors and metabolites Some of these studies and/or technologies are in their infancy while others are much more advanced. Therefore they differ in their validation status and applicability. How to achieve this goal? (cont.) 2. Development of experimental approaches and technologies for studying nutrigenetics and nutrigenomics: ▪ sample handling and processing ▪ data collection and analysis (new bioinformatic tools) ▪ epidemiologic studies to examine the effects of dietary exposure and genetic variations in humans ▪ evaluation of evidence from nutrigenetic case studies It is becoming evident that genetic background, age and gender can have an impact on nutritional requirements but translation of this knowledge is only practical in few cases (galactosemia, phenylketonuria). Will public health be improved with personalized dietary recommendations? ● ● How costly will personalized nutrition be? Will people be motivated to use a personalized diet? At the moment, there is a degree of public confusion and resistance to messages that foster unpopular advice, such as ‘get more exercise’ or ‘eat less calories’. ● ● Will this approach be available only for rich and welleducated? How to educate people? Main topics in the presentation are based on the review by Fenech et al.: „Nutrigenetics and Nutrigenomics: viewpoints on the current status and applications in nutrition research and practice” published recently in Journal of Nutrigenetics and Nutrigenomics (2011), 4: 69 – 89. „Food and nutrition in 21st century”, Warsaw, 8-9.09.2011 Future of nutrigenetics and nutrigenomics Ben van Ommen, TNO Quality of Life Education Education Education Education Despite the great promise of nutrigenetics and nutrigenomics, there is still a long way to go before dietary recommendations based on results of nutrigenomic/nutrigenetic studies. „Food and nutrition in 21st century”, Warsaw, 8-9.09.2011
